Newcastle Mini Comics Making 2012 at Central Library Newcastle upon Tyne

April 21, 2012 from 1pm to 5pm

Following the success of last year's Mini Comics day we've organised an even bigger session for 2012. The idea of the Mini Comics making event is to have a go at creating a comic from scratch and to end with a complete comic you've created. Mini Comics are a great and quick way to tell stories in a comic format. They can be about anything, from a holiday travelog to a music fanzine, from superhero fantasy to futuristic collage. There is no limit to what can be created. The event will run…See More

Gig Zine

I found this text from my Gig Zine in an old email. It's still true :

I spent some time with an old friend recently. He runs a punk record

label and has been devoted to his music for as long as I've known him- jeez, 13 years. He's stayed the same in many ways. We talked about how people at 18 are really just how they're gonna be in the future.

Opportunity for a free festival pass + some expenses, to help do a fanzine workshop at Beacons Festival, 12-14 August near Skipton, Yorkshire.

Hi - I've just confirmed I'm doing a fanzine-making workshop over 2 days at this festival, and it's a pass for two people. Plus some money for food/travel (but don't get too excited about that - you'll still probably end up slightly out of pocket, or at best even).
